Remapping Manilla Contacts shortcut to different app? - Touch HD General

Hi, does anyone know how can I remap the default TF3D link under People tab (the one that says "All people" and links to WinMo Contacts app) to open up Yota Contacts instead?
Should I edit something in registry or something else?? I started using Yota and it's great. After installation there is already a direct link to Yota from the Home Screen, but when I switch to People tab and tap "All people" it's still linked to default Contacts application.
Thanks for the help!

Try SSMaPa. You'll find it on the forums.

Any way to sort contacts by first name?

I've got myself a new Vario, but I can't seem to get the contacts to sort by first name - is there any way to do this?
Sorry if this is a dumb question! I've been mucking about with it for ages!
Many thanks
Zakkz,
Welcome to the forum :wink:. Please read this introduction.
Here's a couple of links on your question.

yes it is possible,
even different ways to get this:
you can use a little freeware application 'File As First Last" that will be included in the default contacts applications. It allows you to save the contact by "firstname lastname" 'or even by company etc. The application can be found on pocketpcfreewares.com: http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=828
you could also change the contact settings on your desktop...within the Outlook contact, you can change the setting 'save contact as', there you can chose to use "firstname lastname"
yet another way to solve this problem is to use another application for your contacts. Pocket Informant is really very good! there you can easily chose to sort the contacts by "firstname lastname"...you can also chose to see the contact pictures in the list of contacts, which is really great I think!
and you've got many many other options and settings to change the calendar/contacts/tasks views...also a really great search function within Pocket Informant...try it for yourself...

Contatcs category

If I close Contacts application with Filter by one Category, when I open it again, it shows my all contacts, is it possible to do that when you open Contacts application it shows contacts filtered by one category?
Thank you.
Not possible, as far as I know.
Use iContact instead, it allows you to start in Favourites view and the Favourites category is definable.
I'm using iContact BE 6.4.5 with the Lycox Diamond skin.
Can I use icontact with TouchFlo 3D?
Where can i get it?
Can I synchronize it with Outlook in my PC?
I have installed it and it is Ok.
I see that it substitute Contacts and so, forget my question about synchronization.
Is it no possible to close it? (it remains active and you have to close it trought Task manager, is it?)
Thank you.
How do you defined the Favourite category?
In Favourite you have the contacts that you add to favourites by pressing the star, but can you asign categories in Outlook and fix one of this categories (family, for exemple) as Favourite?
Thank you

These things are configurable through iContact config.
To get it working properly with TF3D you may have to use a TF3D editor.
Thank you.
All my problems was that iContact config did not appear on my PDA settings. But I have found it in iContact carper an run it directly and, now, it seems to work well.

Searching for calendar entries

Is it possible to search for calendar entries on the X1? I've checked the menu at the bottom and tried pressing and holding to get a menu in the middle of the screen, but I just can't see a search option in the calendar. Surely something like this exists.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Yeah, just use the global windows mobile search. It also searches for calendar entries, not only files.
Thanks very much for the tip. It works, but it's not what I'd call ideal. I'm sure they could have implemented search within the calendar program
Oh well, this'll do for now.

Home page: Calender (appointments) to Pocket Informant

I found something interesting while fiddling with my TP2. I've been trying to change the Home page: Calender (appointments) to point to PI with no avail. PI is the default PIM for my phone and the right soft key was changed to point to it.
Here's the catch: When TF3D (Manila) shows an appointment, it will open to MS poutlook calender. It so happened that I have no recorded appointment showing today and it merely showed "Calender." I pressed on it and it went on to fire up PI, much ot my surprise. I added an appointment and tested but it went to MS poutlook. I deleted the appointment and the "Calender" again opens up PI.
Now if someone can help to point me to the registry on the calling up of appointments by TF3D from MS poutlook, it may just be possible to change the default calender to whatever we choose (PI and what have you).
Thanks in advance.
This is something I am having trouble with too!
I have used SSMaHo and when click on "calendar" in the programs screen it works fine....just not for the appointment links on the today screen.
Thanks in advance!
Would be great. I have been searching and found nothing so far....

problem with contact list in WM 6.5

Hello,
I run WM 6.5 (dutch) on my HTC HD2. With ActiveSync I'm able to import my email and contacts from my Gmail account. So far so good, but....
Contacts appear in my contact list with name first and then surename. It's -as far as I could find out - not possible to switch those two.
Example -
David Jones (Gmail) will appear as Jones David (WM)
How can I edit this sequence or has anyone else the same problem? Is there any software update that will solve this annoying problem?

I had exactly the same problem and I still do but I found a way of changing it but you have to do it for ever single one; Go to edit contact - scroll right to the bottom and press more and press file as and change it there. I was this permanent each time I create a contact but I dont know how. =(
or use this handy first-last cab.
dont forget that any new contacts will be saved last-first unless you change that right at the bottom of the edit contact page as in post 2
